Leader of men

Many of my characteristic are in the leadership column:

The boss drives group members; the leader coaches them. The boss depends upon authority; the leader on good will. The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm. The boss says 'I'; the leader says 'we.' The boss assigns the task, the leader sets the pace. The boss says, 'Get there on time'; the leader gets there ahead of time. The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown. The boss knows how it is done; the leader shows how. The boss makes work a drudgery; the leader makes it a game. The boss says, 'Go'; the leader says, 'Let's go.
